• Hello there!

    I'm Janica, a Houston-based portrait photographer, and this is the JBO PHOTO blog. Here, you can check out my recent work, get the scoop on jbo photo sessions, and find out more (probably a LOT more) than you ever wanted to know about the day-to-day adventures of my quirky family.

    Thanks for stopping by...I hope you'll visit often!

Because I have no shame

It is just plain difficult to take a decent picture of oneself.  Wouldn’t one agree?

However, since I found myself actually showered and dressed in socially-acceptable clothing the other day, I figured it was a good time to give it another go.

I brushed my hair, slapped on my shortest lens, and planted myself directly in front of my sunshine-filled window.  Wrist shaking from the ridiculously awkward posture of holding a 7 pound camera with one hand at arms length while feigning pure relaxed confidence, I started snapping away.

Basking in the warm sunshine, feeling a bit victorious…

Cue the photic sneeze reflex.

Uh-oh…

Pure pre-sneeze hottness.

You jealous??  ;)

And big bro Keaton?  The sprinkling of freckles just KILLS me.  And when you factor in the crazy amount of love that this kid has for his family…quite the package deal.
